The EUCast crew has been wondering which format the show should be recorded in: Live or pre-recorded. Both are the same to edit, but each crew member thinks the choice should be put up to you. As announced in EUCast 34, (which will be released today) we want to know what you think, as the fans are why we even do the show. You can vote on the main page for what you want. On Sunday, September 7 we will look at the polls and make our choice. Listeners will then be notified the following week as to how the show will be recording from then on.

We'd also like to hear why you voted for what you did, so please feel free to tell us here or via e-mail (eucast@eucantina.net). We looking forward to letting you voice be heard._________________ EUCantina.net Founder. Forum Admin.

Pre-recorded. The sound qaulity is better, and the shows run smoother, and I'm sure it's a whole lot easier on you hosts . Of course, that is from the perspective of someone who doesn't have time to listen to the live recordings. But for someone like me who gets the show of Itunes, pre-recorded is better._________________

Can't argue there; the shows do run smoother, it is easier on the hosts, but doing it live isn't really hard, per se. The quality is better due to the fact Ustream isn't in the equation when we pre-record. Editing is the same, however. As of right now, Live is winning, but there's still a few more days. Again, please feel free to vote and then tell us why you did; the hosts have a whole bunch of fun doing it either way so your opinion, as always, is valued and respected._________________ EUCantina.net Founder.

I'm in favor of pre-recorded, but that's because the Live shows I remember had poorer sound._________________

A fetish for ideas that hold as much interest and passion as old religious relics for some. We display them in our homes. They show who we are. They are signals for similar thinking people. A way we connect with each other...and I guess thats why I do toys. That connection." -Ashley Wood

I voted pre-recorded. It's not that I have anything against live as such, but pre-recorded podcasts - I'm not talking about EUC, just about podcasts overall - tend to be more polished and stay better on the subjects.

Last check, pre-recorded is winning with a one point lead._________________

Currently, pre-recorded is now leading by two. It's going to be interesting to see how this turns out..._________________ EUCantina.net Founder. Forum Admin.

Personally I don't think its us who should decide. I think it's the people who make the show who should decide. But hey, that's just me._________________

Well, we will have the "final" say, but we want to do what the listeners find the most fun and of the best quality for them. Trust me, this is only of of the changes EUCast has coming, and it's all for the better _________________ EUCantina.net Founder. Forum Admin.

If you want me to be totally honest, I just had this sudden urge to click 'live!'. But it doesn't really matter to me either way. _________________

So, we have made a choice.... drum roll, please....... All regular, Cantina Chats, and mini-casts will be pre-recorded and released on Monday afternoons. HOWEVER, most specials will be recorded live and announced on EU Cantina.net a week or more before the date of the show.

We will announce this in EUCast # 36 with more detail._________________ EUCantina.net Founder. Forum Admin.
